About
DeWall's Forge strives for excellent craftsmanship through the creation of its art.
Founder: Travis dewall
In 2007, a spark was struck that changed my life forever. As a young boy of fourteen, I had the deep desire to become a blacksmith. I was enamored with the history of the craft, and the amazing works that could come from utilizing ancient techniques. Slowly, though a lot of hard work and effort, I began to learn and grow until I became the craftsman I am today. I still strive to continue to learn new techniques and to uncover old ones which were nearly lost to time and industrialization. I take pride in the work that I create, and seek to be continually refined as a craftsman as I grow in my crafts. The challenge of a new project and fulfillment of creating something new continue to spur me forward as I put my gifts into action.
